Halloween is a traditional festival in many countries, and the celebration is usually held on the night of October 31 every year. The festival originated in the United States, the British Isles, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, where the descendants of the Saxon people (a Germanic group) gathered, and is mainly popular in these areas.

Food Additives, such as

The theme of the festival is usually ghosts, horrors, and things related to death, magic, and monsters. Common symbols include ghosts, ghouls, witches, bats, black cats, owls, goblins, zombies, skeletons, pumpkin heads and demons, inferis, and fictional characters such as bloodsucking zombies and Frankenstein.
On Halloween Eve, people will also put jack-o-lanterns (pumpkin shells to make lampshades, pulp to make pumpkin powder) in their homes to drive away evil spirits and protect the safety of the family. While black and orange are traditional Halloween colors, modern Halloween products also make heavy use of purple, green and red.
In addition, the European tradition holds that Halloween is the time when the supernatural world is closest to the human world, similar to the Hungry Ghost Festival and the Ibon Festival in East Asia.
